first off my motor is a 1g in a 2g. this is what i've done. After pulling my tranny and putting everything back I can't get my motor to start after I was able to start it this morning. This is a brand new motor and so far this is what I did:

1. put my IC piping and battery back in earlier this morning

2. started my car and it ran for about 1-2 mins. sounded OK to me

3. i decided to give a little throttle from my TB and the motor started to bog/chock up

4. i immediately let go of the throttle and the car shuts off

5. now i can't get the car to start again. it cranks. but won't turn over.

6. i'm getting spark on all 4 spark plugs. i'm also getting fuel. my AFPR is set to 43 psi

7. CAS is fine and also checked all fuses which look good.

i'll also note that i've tried jump starting the car since my battery was getting low. i'm out of ideas. any help/suggestioins would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Your cam angle sensor most likely needs adjusted. I would loosen it up and rotate it clockwise leave about a 1/4 inch gap from being all the way turned clockwise.

Until you get the base timing set up correctly with a timing light.
Im not sure though from you post if you car just got a new motor or you just did a transmision /clucth replacement?
